Neon Reverb Music Festival 2011 by Jazzlyn Kirkland
Last weekend I had the opportunity to attend one of the most anticipated music events in Las Vegas, The 2011 Neon Reverb Festival. Now go ahead and throw all of your pre-conceived notions about ?typical? music festivals out of the window. There?s no itchy grass, port-o-potties or overpriced bottles of water here. With an arsenal of venues that include The Bunkhouse Saloon, The Beat Coffee Shop, The Beauty Bar, Artifice, Royal Resort, and The El Cortez Hotel and Casino just to name a few.
This music festival is definitely done Vegas style.
As I?m driving toward Downtown Las Vegas? famous Fremont East district, I can feel the music in the air, with what had to be hundreds upon hundreds of people crowding the entrances to the festivals venues. I knew that tonight was going to be one for the records. First, I head over to The Beat Coffee Shop to load up on some flyers and maps for the event so I can plan out how I will attack this event.
Heading furthest down Fremont Street East, I go to The Bunkhouse Saloon. The vibe there was pretty cheerful and light to be a downtown bar. I hang out here for a while and I heard two bands play a good set. Not being 100% sure of who I just listened to I pull out my trusty Neon Reverb Festival Schedule (and yes it is neon yellow and pink) and was informed that the 2 bands I just watched perform were ?Robot Nixon? and ?Audacity?, by this time its a little past midnight so I start heading back towards Las Vegas Blvd.
I?m really excited to be going to the next venue: The Beauty Bar. The Beauty Bar is by far one of my favorite spots to hang out, grab some drinks listen to some tunes or even watch movies on a regular night. So I?m super stoked for live bands playing on the inside stage as well as the outside patio. Getting through the line for Beauty Bar was a task in itself but as I finally made it to the entrance I was greeted by a cheerful red-head handing me a map and informing me of which bands were on next. I go to the back to see what?s going on in the patio and was met by an enormous crowd watching ?Halloween Town? killing it on stage. I was pretty beat and happy with the overall outcome of the night. However, I couldn?t help but notice the buzzing whispers.
??Hurry inside before they come on!?
?I can?t wait for you guys to see this band!?
Boy oh boy, was it worth the wait? ?Cuckoo Chaos? set the Beauty Bar on fire with its amazing energy and catchy beats. You couldn?t help but dance around with a big smile on your face.
Neon Reverb is growing every year. I loved the venues, the bands and the variety of music from Hip Hop showcases, Rock bands and Live DJs. Neon Reverb 2011 was a definite win.
This truly has been an awesome experience. I would like to personally say thank you to Thirry, Jason and James for giving GrungeCake the opportunity to be a part of this event.
